Spinning Bag My Mom Made Me

Dear Robin,
Okay, Finally I am posting the images of my spinning bag my mom made me. It fits everything in it. The images came from AnntheGran.com, who has some amazing embroidery designs. The images my mom used were free and created by different artists. The sheep was created by Margaret Hawkins, the spinning wheel by Rachel Fuge.

My mom downloaded the images and did the embroidery. What is really cool is that mom used a loosely spun wool thread to make the sheep's white fur. After emboidery, the wool thread is brushed and the sheep becomes fuzzy! The bag is awesome and works wonderfully to hold not only my spinning equipment and fiber, but also my purse. This means I only have to cart one bag to guild meetings. Too cool.

Regarding the wish list . . . I find I don't want as much as I used to. Maybe I have more now that I am no longer a graduate student, or maybe I am older and wiser. Hah! Don't think it is that one.

I posted "How to make a drop spindle" on our "Patterns & How Tos" Page. Check it out and give me feedback. I would love to see any drop spindles that people make from the post as well.

Happy fibering!
